Life for me was an endless romp in the Garden of Eden until I was eight years old when I was packed off to a succession of Christian-orientated boarding schools in the colonial education system. It was forcefully impressed on me that my free-spirited nature and heathen superstitions were of no value to the socio-economic machine I was being conditioned to fit into. Ten years later I left school, cured of my innocence and wonder, and thoroughly convinced I had no choice but to find my place within the rational order of Western civilization. But my heart was never in it. I was a conscript, not a volunteer.
